A large thumbnail appears when a file or folder is selected in the right pane of explorer and moved to another location. Aero view only -- no problem when in "classic" view. Help on how to disable this icon much appreciated.

Which horrible large folder or file icon are you talking about.?
In Aero view, when I click on any file or folder in the right pane of explorer and start to move it, a large thumbnail appears as I move the file/folder. Very annoying . . . and unnecessary. Disabling that function should be easy [hopefully].
This situation does not exist when in "basic/classic" view, by the way.

try shrinking all the icons in explorer.exe to the normal size,
maybe it would help
If I understand what you are asking, right click on your computer icon and click on Properties. Select the Advanced tab and click on Settings under Performance. Click on the Custom radio button. Look down the list and uncheck Show window contents while dragging.
Thanks guys, but neither suggestion solved the problem. I've given up on Aero view and returned to Classic view . . . and no large icon problem.
Do you think somehow you could take a picture of the problem and post it so we can see what the problem is?
I don't see that when I am dragging and dropping. I assume you are in Explorer when you see this?
